Invincible Over the World -
Chapter 222 - 222 222 Heavenly Buddha Platform
222: Chapter 222: Heavenly Buddha Platform 222: Chapter 222: Heavenly Buddha Platform Three days had passed, and Huang Xiaolong had left South Mountain Mansion and Broken Blade Imperial City, journeying alone toward the Heavenly Buddha Empire.
Huang Peng, Su Yan, Huang Min, Huang Xiaohai, Zhang Fu, Zhao Shu, and others stood before the grand gate of Broken Blade Imperial City, watching Huang Xiaolong’s figure disappear into the distance.
As Su Yan watched Huang Xiaolong’s figure gradually vanish from her eyes, becoming blurry, she couldn’t help but feel her beautiful eyes redden.
Since Huang Xiaolong had left the Huang Family Manor at the age of eight to experience the world, ten years had passed.
During these ten years, she had always had infrequent reunions and frequent separations with her son.
Back then, she hadn’t anticipated that, ten years later, her son would become a significant figure in the Broken Blade Empire, even commanding the respect of Emperor Duanren himself.
This was something she hadn’t even dared to dream of ten years ago.
Emperor Duanren!
The supreme existence in the eyes of billions of the Broken Blade Empire’s citizens.
“Let’s go back,” Huang Peng said after a long while, and they all returned to South Mountain Mansion.
After leaving the Broken Blade Imperial City, Huang Xiaolong traveled southward.
Over a month later, he reached the frontier of the Broken Blade Empire and crossed out of it.
Adjacent to the Broken Blade Empire was the Pan Chu Empire.
Among the seventeen great empires of the Snow Continent, the Pan Chu Empire was ranked at the bottom in terms of strength, considerably weaker than the Broken Blade Empire.
The Pan Chu Empire also had just over seven hundred kingdoms under its command, making its territory about half the size of the Broken Blade Empire.
Along the way, Huang Xiaolong chose to travel through desolate mountains and small paths, sometimes even traveling overnight.
With deserted roads and no one around, Huang Xiaolong summoned the Black and Blue Dragons, leapt onto their backs, and let them carry him through the air.
Thanks to the Black and Blue Dragons, Huang Xiaolong’s speed was extremely fast, and it wasn’t long before he had passed through the Pan Chu Empire.
However, after passing through the Pan Chu Empire, he still had to cross three more empires before reaching the Heavenly Buddha Empire located at the southernmost tip of the Snow Continent.
Since Huang Xiaolong had chosen desolate mountain paths for his journey, he hadn’t encountered much trouble along the way, except for some petty thieves.
The strongest of these thieves were merely at the Postnatal Ten Stage.
Postnatal Ten Stage, for the current Huang Xiaolong, was merely a matter of lifting a finger.
Soon, half a year passed.
Half a year had gone by.
While hastening his journey, Huang Xiaolong also focused on his cultivation.
His Fighting Energy and Inner Strength had both greatly improved.
First was the Fighting Energy; Huang Xiaolong had reached the Peak of Innate Second Stage, infinitely close to the Innate Third Stage.
As for his Inner Strength, he had cultivated the “Yijinjing” up to the Peak of the Ninth Posture Azure Dragon Claw, and he would soon be able to cultivate the Tenth Posture.
That night,
the night was cool as water.
In the woods of a desolate mountain, a campfire was lit.
Huang Xiaolong sat beside the fire, taking out the Unforgettable Wine, drinking and reflecting on things.
In half a month, he would reach the Heavenly Buddha Empire.
“Heavenly Buddha Empire!” Huang Xiaolong murmured to himself.
It was said that the Heavenly Buddha Empire was established by someone known as Heavenly Buddha in the Buddha World, but more than a thousand years ago, this Heavenly Buddha who founded the empire had disappeared.
Now, his disciple named Shi Fantian was in charge of the Heavenly Buddha Empire.
Shi Fantian, a legendary figure of the Snow Continent, was rumored to have an Innate Buddha Body.
Born with a piece of Buddha Jade in his mouth, this Buddha Jade contained a record of a Supreme Technique known as Prajnaparamita Divine Skill, which only Shi Fantian with the Innate Buddha Body could cultivate.
“This trip to the Heavenly Buddha Empire, I wonder if I will have the chance to meet this Shi Fantian,” Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.
Before coming, Huang Xiaolong had made inquiries and learned that Shi Fantian was immensely powerful.
When he took over the Heavenly Buddha Empire over a thousand years ago, he was already a Holy Domain Second Rank powerhouse.
Moreover, Huang Xiaolong learned that outsiders wishing to enter the Buddha Cave of the Heavenly Buddha Empire must possess a Heavenly Buddha Token, which was equivalent to the Golden Order of the Broken Blade Empire.
Each Heavenly Buddha Token was personally bestowed by Shi Fantian himself.
In the Broken Blade Empire, there were only two Golden Orders, but in the Heavenly Buddha Empire, there were more than ten Heavenly Buddha Tokens, although the exact number was not known.
However, it was unclear who exactly held each Heavenly Buddha Token.
Huang Xiaolong furrowed his brows.
For now, he could only figure out a plan when the time came.
A night passed.
Huang Xiaolong continued on his journey.
Half a month later, he finally arrived at the Heavenly Buddha Empire.
Upon entering the territory of the Heavenly Buddha Empire, the cities he passed through featured many Buddha-related structures.
Temples were almost everywhere in every city, and even some shop facades were decorated with various Buddhas.
The entire Heavenly Buddha Empire was filled with a strong Buddha Nature, the scent of incense was detectable everywhere.
After arriving in the Heavenly Buddha Empire, Huang Xiaolong ventured towards the Buddha Cave while inquiring about the whereabouts of the Heavenly Buddha Tokens.
The Buddha Cave of the Heavenly Buddha Empire was not located in the Imperial City but in the north of the empire, while the Imperial City was in the south.
One in the north and one in the south, they echoed each other from a distance.
A month later, Huang Xiaolong arrived at a main city called Jia Bei around the Buddha Cave.
This Jia Bei City was less than a hundred miles away from the Buddha Cave.
The Buddha Cave was a forbidden land in the Heavenly Buddha Empire, off-limits to outsiders; however, Jia Bei City was extremely bustling.
Upon his entry, the city was throbbing with life, horses and carriages crowded the streets, and the populace included monks in Buddha robes, ordinary citizens in simple cloth, and even Taoist priests and nuns, all sorts of people were present.
After entering the city, Huang Xiaolong stopped outside an inn called Yunxi, then went inside and chose a table near the window, asking the waiter to serve a table of fine food and drink.
“Have you heard?
The Heavenly Buddha Platform in the Buddha Cave has reappeared!”
“The Heavenly Buddha Platform has reappeared!
It’s been more than three hundred years since it last appeared!”
“Yes, whenever the Heavenly Buddha Platform appears, the Buddha Cave manifests anomalies.
I wonder who will be chosen this time.
It’s said that everyone chosen is granted an audience with our Great Emperor and he grants them one request.”
At this moment, voices of discussion came from a nearby table.
Huang Xiaolong’s interest was piqued.
The Heavenly Buddha Platform?!
“Waiter,” Huang Xiaolong called the waiter over.
“Young Master, may I help you with anything?” the waiter came over, bending forward and asked.
Huang Xiaolong threw a pouch filled with several hundred gold coins to him and asked, “What’s this about the Heavenly Buddha Platform they are talking about?”
The waiter caught it, weighed it with his hand, and with a bright smile, explained, “Young Master, you’re not from our Heavenly Buddha Empire, right?
The Heavenly Buddha Platform is an artifact left by our Heavenly Buddha Emperor.
It appears every few decades or centuries.
If someone is chosen by the Heavenly Buddha Platform, they will be granted an audience with Emperor Shi Fantian and he will grant them one request.”
Huang Xiaolong then asked the waiter some more related questions.
After a while, the waiter left, and Huang Xiaolong fell into deep thought.
According to the waiter, everyone chosen by the Heavenly Buddha Platform would receive a baptism of Buddha Power from it, which not only greatly enhanced their strength but also had immense benefits for their cultivation.
But that was not the most important thing—the most crucial was Emperor Shi Fantian’s one request!
If he himself was chosen by the Heavenly Buddha Platform, then with Emperor Shi Fantian’s granted request, he could enter the Buddha Cave!
Thus, Huang Xiaolong decided to visit the Heavenly Buddha Platform tomorrow.
